Toe-tally Unbelievable

Jerry Douthette and his wife Rosee have a Jack Russell terrier named Kiko . Jerry and Rosee went out and he had a good bit to drink, four or five beers and 2 large margaritas to be specific. Rosee did her wifely duty and hauled him home, where he went and laid down and fell asleep. When he awoke Kiko was on the bed with him, there was a pool of blood around his foot, and half his left great toe was gone. At the hospital Jerry found out he was a diabetic, his sugar was 560, 80 to 120 is normal. The sore he had left untreated on the partially eaten toe was so badly infected that the bone was involved necessitating the amputation of the remainder of the digit. Essentially the dog had saved Jerry because it could smell the life threatening infection. Initially Kiko was to be put down but Jerry changed his mind. Since the dog saved him the Douthettes are keeping it. After the customary quarantine to be sure rabies is not involved of course.
